Proton-Rich Sulphur and Nucleosynthesis in Classical Novae

The structure of proton-unbound states in {sup 30}{sub S} and {sup 31}{sub S} is important for determining the {sup 29}P(p,{gamma}){sup 30}S and {sup 30}P(p,{gamma}){sup 31}S reaction rates, which influence explosive hydrogen burning in classical novae. The former reaction rate in this temperature regime had been previously predicted to be dominated by two low-lying, unobserved, J{sup {pi}} = 3{sup +} and 2{sup +} resonances in {sup 30}S. To search for evidence for these levels, the structure of {sup 30}{sub S} was studied using the {sup 32}S(p,t){sup 30}S reaction with a magnetic spectrograph. We provide an update on the status of the ongoing analysis and some preliminary results.
